Today's song is the forlorn "For No One". One of Paul's sadder love songs, it presents the anatomy of a disintegrating relationship. Paul and Ringo were the only Beatles on this track; Paul sings and plays the bass guitar, piano and clavichord, and Ringo plays the drums and tambourine. The song also features Alan Civil for the the French horn solo.
The lyrics frame a situation that is quite gloomy; sung in the second person, the song speaks directly to the listener, "you", in a very personal and relatable way. My favorite lines from the song are the chorus (such as it is):
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind her tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
That's all for today... See you tomorrow.
